Chairperson for sometime now the United Kingdom has required South Africans to apply for Visas to visit the UK because of that country's security concerns this includes the tidies requirement to obtain a transit visa to connect with flights to other countries yet South Africa is still committed to freely welcome UK travellers and business people to our shores. Rightly or wrongly there seems to have been a taint of distrust of South Africans that arose around 2008 and 2009.
Much has changed since then, and one would argue that the time has come for the British and South African government to re-assess and to alleviate a situation that by design unfairly penalises South Africans and virtually still blends us as potential terrorist. The UDM calls upon the South African government to sit down with their British counterparts to re- evaluate and to ... whether the reasons for the decision still stand also the British government must please be requested to publish the details on where we are failing.
